Current Comment

Milwaukee Sentinel: The President is the massive Ink which practically unltes George William Curtis and Higgins ID the same political organization.
 New Orleans Weekly Pelican: A negro who is willing to retract his 1tterances, when he believes himself right, in order to cater to the wishes of disreputable characters, is unfit to edit a newspaper, even one of the dimensions of the Mont gomery. Ala. Herald.
 New York Sun: Mir. George is 8 pretty clever politician, and he IS hunting Tor all the votes he can get. It IS evident that he understands the bopelessness and folly of trying to win the working men to the free trade system. Therein be IS wiser in his day and generation than certain worthy but feyeTish Demo- cratic politicians and editors.
 Philadelphia Press: The denth of Kat koff, the great Russian journalist, should be regretted by every loyal American. He WAS a friend of the Union when the Union waB in danger, and hIs pen did the service of a thousand swords in frus- trsting the wicked conspiracy 10 procure the recognition of the independence oi Ilt SOHACA1AUSg " of Europe.
 Philadelphia Times: They haven't dollar In the State Treasury ID Indiana, but the offices are filled with spollsmen, and Senator Voorhees, is still bowling for @ cleaner sweep in other States. Taken as 8 whole this fact probably can not be twisted into an argument against the spoilsmen. IL is more likely another black eye for George William Curtis and the Mugwumps, who have become widely known in recent years as the ad- vocates of the Indiana idea For par ticulars see the organs.
 Toronto Mail: It is clear that, like the threat to remove the workshops from Winnipeg and like the hard names which Sir George Stephens hurled st such men as Messrs. Jones, Whitla, Ash down, and Brock, this fresh attempt to prevent 90,000 settlers from riddlng themselves of a hateful monopoly IS much more likely to sggrsvste than i'm proye the situation.

Death of Willie Mcfarland

The death of little Willie Mcfarland son or roadmsster Mcfarland, at Pan tsno' a lew days since, appears to have been an exceedingly sad one. Mr.McFar. land resides at Benson, but in the ron. tine ot his business. frequently has oc- cRslon to go to PAntano. On these trips De was generally accompanied by hls son Willie. The latter, while in Pap- teno, made his home with Judge Wool. folk, who thoroughly admired him AS n bright and intelligent boy. On the tisy ot hls death he was visiting with Mir. Woolfolk and inquired of him if he WAS going to drive his light blackboard ina, day as he wanted to ride with him In case he did. The Judge replied No, but said he had 8 gentle saddle mare he (Wlllie) could rIde If he wished.
 The anImsl was accordingly saddled, out as the.stlrrups were too long the lit. tle fellows feet were put in the straps. As ne was uDsccustomed to riding he vas instructed not to go beyond sight. The journey to and from the depot had been made several times, Judge Wool Folk and NIT. Mcfarland keeping the horse and rider close under observation. The last tlme, however. Willie failed to turn the horse as before, and the ami nal becoming somewhat irTitsted, start c | to tTot and the boy fell of with his lett footsstiN hanging in the strap.
 At this the mare became frantic and gsliopped madly around kicking the poor little fellow at every step. Judge Woolfoik finally caught her and in do- ing SO WIS knocked violently to the ground. As he fell the almost ifele7s and horribly nutilated body of the boy was thrown into his arms, covering him with blood. The father was by bis side n a moment, but the little fellow gave one gasp and was dead. The grief of the father was intense, but scarcely less WIS that of Judge Woo!soik, who had given him the hOrse to ride.
 he animal ID question had always been considered well behaved and gentle. Had the boy when falling, not been entRDgled Tn the stIrrup straps, he would have been uniDIured, but drag ing and striking the mares heels made her uncomfortable.
 This death, coming Rs 1t did, was peculiarly sad and hesrtrending, IL was one of those unfortunate affairs that bring sorrow in its wake alike to family and friend. No blame could be attached to anyone. but Judge Wool folk from whom the above facts were obtained, grieves sorely over the sad and un.imely ending of what promised SO fair to be useful and prosperous lfe

A NEW counterfeit silver dollar has been discovered. The counterfeit IS eyi- dently made by casting it from 8 mold taken from genuine piece, as 1t is not stamped by die. In color it is some what brighter than genuine silver, hay ing clear, sospy appearance and feel which prevents ordinary grit or dirt ad herring to il. The lines of the engrav- ing are not at all sharp like the original and the coin noticeably thicker. The milling lines on the edge are longer and the diameter slightly shorter. When dropped the coin does not ring clearly like silver nor does it drop flat like lead, but makes a sharp, metallic noise. The ''s" In the word "Pluribus" IS noticesbly bad and the imperfect casting of the old English motto, 'In God We Trust" gives appearance of line running through the letters as though the coun- terfeiter was not quite sure of the senti- ment. It is softer than silver,

THE CITIZEN has always maintained that southern Arizona ss a grape pro- ducer, could equal the world. To-day We reassert this belief and base it oD the product of five acre vineyard, the property of MIr. Julius Flynn, who re- sides on his ranch about four miles south of Tucson. Yesterday Mir. Flynn sent basket of his products to Dr. \. A. Mstss and through his kindness We were permitted to see and psrtake
 thereof. They were fully ss large and full looking as the California grape, and ss good as those sent here from the Salt River Valley. This is saying much but it is the truth all the same. Their flavor. We think. equals the California grown. Here there is positive proof of what can be done in grape culture heresbouts. if We will only do it. Mir. Flynn is the pioneer in the business and We hope now that he has assured all doubters. his following will be many. Several of the punches have been placed on exhibition st the drug store of Dr. Martin, and the invitation is extended to citizens and those inter ested in our resources. to call and see them for themselves. It should also he borne in mind that the vines upon which these grapes were raised are but two years old There ia no reason as Ve have long maiatsined, to import tons Of grapes from California, and pay exces- sive freight charges, when We can raise as good, If not better article ourselves
